You reap what you sow. It sounds like your friend is living in an
area where services are being cut back and that's what happens when
there are no taxes to pay for them. Soon no one will be filling
potholes in the streets either and then you can slowly regress back to
the dirt roads of old, while the rest of us have to listen to how bad
it is in your poverty stricken part of the country.
